7-day high & low tide predictions direct from NOAA CO-OPS. Pick a station to plan your fishing around the tide cycle.
The four stations behind this page
NOAA CO-OPS maintains a permanent water-level station at each of these points, referenced to the MLLW datum like every number on this page. The selector above reads their live prediction feeds; the linked station pages carry each buoy's full record.
| Station | Where | NOAA ID |
|---|---|---|
| Oregon Inlet | Oregon Inlet, just south of the Nags Head beaches | 8652587 |
| Hatteras | Hatteras village, Hatteras Island | 8654467 |
| Duck | Duck, northern Banks | 8651370 |
| Avon | Avon, Hatteras Island | 8654487 |
For the charted water itself — depths, shoals, and marked channels behind the tide numbers — open theinteractive nautical charts. If you would rather watch the water than read it, thelive webcams cover six pier and surf feeds banks-wide.

About These Tides
Predictions are fetched live from theNOAA CO-OPS Data API. The four Outer Banks stations cover the northern (Duck), central (Oregon Inlet, Avon), and southern (Hatteras) coastline. All heights are relative to the MLLW (Mean Lower Low Water) datum and shown in feet; times are in local lst_ldt time.
Tide timing matters for surf fishing: many anglers target the two hours around a tide change — especially the incoming high. Use the chart above to spot the week’s biggest swings, then plan your trip around slack water and peak current. Heights are given in feet above MLLW, the same datum the stations publish against.
